Chicken boarders

[BarbaraJ]

We have really worked hard today and have the frame up and rest of wood treated to carry on tomorrow. the brickwork for under the frame down and the cubes looking great

sorry about quality of pictures but was dusk and i had to brighten them up a bit !

[moomin]

Looking good!

 

Are you getting loads of new chooks when it's done?

[BarbaraJ]

At least 3 more don't want to go too mad this time as want them to have lots of room and things to do in there as i'm probably looking to leave them in most of the week and let them out at weekends! but if i see some i fancy later I could still add more

[Redwing]

That looks fab! It's going to be enormous - lots more room for new girls

[Cooks]

Barbara thats looking great, I cant wait to see it completed

[Chickvic]

Looks really good. It'll be Hen Heaven

[BarbaraJ]

We have roof bars, strengthening bars along sides and some mesh now was getting dark so had to stop hate these early evenings when you're trying to do something and it was getting sooo cold!

[Cooks]

I hate these evenings as well you cant get anything done out there when it gets dark so quick.

[Plum]

That was quick. Its going to be pretty big. Lucky you.

[BarbaraJ]

come to a stop as we ran out of weld mesh thought i had plenty but 36' wasn't enough with some left over from last run ordered some yesterday should arrive tomorrow so hopefully finished at the weekend

[BarbaraJ]

well i have just finished meshing it all all it needs now is plastic roofing was too dark to take photos but will get some tomorrow if it isn't raining

 

the run is now about 7' x 15' : not including the front low part!

it will be great to see the pictures! I;ve been out myself with my stinking cold the girlies were helping me, although the worms really didn't need eating..

 

they are both delighted with their temporary home in the eglu with run and both stand on the run watching everything..

 

I'm moving it every two days to a different patch of garden but they seriously make a mess of the grass..

[BarbaraJ]

yeah we are done , roof on and hoping to nip out for a pic later when it stops raining. Can't put anything on the floor yet as its like a marsh out there. Plan is leave it to dry out for a couple of days and then put Aubiose down and put old girls in cube and get new girls next Sunday and they will go in old coop in old run!

[BarbaraJ]

So nearly there, just need the stupid mud to dry out

 

yuckkkkk!

 

[Cooks]

That's looking really good!, nice looking cube you have there

 

Have you got the groove cut out for the sliding roof, I cant see

[BarbaraJ]

Thanks, we have a gap rather than a groove but it works fine, when it dries out i'll take a pic.
